[Dailydrool] Dog Who Won't Eat Dogfood...

[Lilie Basset]

Matt Gold said, "He'll eat anything other than dog food."

I faced a similar problem when I switched the girls to a new dog food - 
Flint River Ranch.  It's supposed to be fed in smaller amounts than they 
were used to, and we'd always just left kibble out for them to munch as they 
wished.

With the new food, I figured that Daffodil would eat the majority because 
she's very fond of eating - and it doesn't matter what.  Lilie would always 
wait until the humans had dinner just in case Daddy would begin to cook for 
her again (BAD Daddy to have started that).  She turned her nose up at any 
"Dog Food", even if I tried to feed them canned food and acted like it was 
people food.

When I got the new food, I opened the bag, held up a handful and asked if 
they wanted a treat.  SURE!  They thought it was great.  Then I began to 
throw it onto the floor.  They loved being fed treats.  No dog food in a dog 
bowl...just treats that Mom spread out for them to eat.

Now they actually ask for it twice a day.  Early in the morning I'm reminded 
that it's treat time - and in the late afternoon or early evening.

I love my dogs.  Two basset hounds and a Yorkie.  They are SO easy to trick. 
By the way, they clean up the floor completely.

Give it a try.  No dog food bowl on the floor!  Half of the dog food would 
end up on the floor anyway...let me know it if works.
